I've been more aware of Laid-Back Dan moreso than Has-Hydrocephalus Dan. In fact, the only time I was aware of the latter was when I was That Guy and said, "Whoa, dude, you have a huge pulsing neck vein!" and you had to explain that it was a shunt.

Thus, I never thought you were super-stressed all the time. In fact, the only time I can recall you getting worked up was when we were denied entry to the Brendan Benson show that required a long walk through rain and the bearing of Addison red line traffic due to a just-let-out Cubs game. That was pretty lame; nothing more lame than two guys who say they're on The List but apparently aren't, in which all they can do is look like idiots when they have to turn around and, you know, leave.

Ahahaha, oh man! I had totally forgotten about that Brendan Benson show! Being on The List and suddenly NOT on The List is thoroughly embarrassing.

We were like Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau in that scene in Swingers when they go to the high-stakes blackjack table and look like a bunch of fools.

See, I say you use the "neck vein" to your advantage. This will only work if you're in a position of authority, and can pretend to be on the edge of freaking out, in order to get people below you to get shit done. My old boss had a crazy forehead vein that I tried to avoid at all costs by talking in pleasing tones and indeed getting shit done. Seriously, work the vein.
